Wilton Vise(s) -- Trying to sell these two -- I have too many of them


The surface corrosion is actually very light.  It would clean up easily.  This one is missing one of the jaws.



Shimano Dura Ace Brake Levers for the 3T Handlebars for the Bianchi


I already had these brake levers.  They would not fit on the handlebar.  Looking at the loop on the brakes, they are kinda oval instead of round.

I used this round part of a vise handle to bend the metal loop near where it comes together to make the hole more round (than oval).  This worked really well.

After the modification, the loops went onto the handlebar very easily.







I ordered some Celeste Green color bar tape from eBay...

Used 3T handlbar for the Bianchi -- Had this already -- Before & After cleaning












It cleaned up really nice.  Kinda surprised at how good it looks after cleaning...







40 cm width (this is on the narrow side) and says "MERCKX" as in the cannibal...
